CONFIRMATION OF MINUTES - Penrith Valley Community Safety Partnership Meeting - 30 September 2009

The minutes of the Penrith Valley Community Safety Partnership Meeting of 30 September 2009 were confirmed.

1        Penrith Valley Community Safety Plan 2007-2011 - Key Strategy Development          

1.  Additional Alcohol Free Zones and Alcohol Free Areas

Allison advised that at the last partnership meeting held 30 September there were two Alcohol Free Areas and an additional 10 Alcohol Free Zones proposed at newly identified locations across the City.

A report was submitted to Council recommending support to commence the consultation process. Following Council’s approval, a consultation period of 30 days was advertised. No objections were received for the new Alcohol Free Areas or Alcohol Free Zones.

A further report has been prepared for Council’s meeting on 30^th November 2009 recommending that the newly proposed Alcohol Free Areas and Alcohol Free Zones be established at each location. If adopted by Council, signage will be erected early in the new year.

Ben Feszczuk asked if consideration has been given to establishing an Alcohol Free Area within the Green Space, located between the Civic Centre, Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre and Westfield.

David advised that Parks Maintenance Crews had been collecting data over a number of weeks regarding alcohol bottles and litter at this location. At this stage, no significant trends were evident although Council will continue to monitor this location.

2.   Update on NSW Attorney General’s Crime Prevention Funding Projects

Plate Safe Program

Allison advised that the Plate Safe program originally proposed to be launched on 24^th October 2009 had to be cancelled due to the type of screws to be used and the complexity of its fitting.

Allison also advised that the product to be installed requires extensive fitting and the removal of vehicle panels. Due to the complexities of installation staff from the supplier National Locksmiths, will be engaged to assist with fittings.

Allison explained that the revised proposal for the delivery of the program was based around a voucher system whereby residents obtained a voucher from Council and arranged to have anti theft screws installed by National Locksmiths at their own convenience. The NSW Attorney General’s Department was concerned that this method would make it difficult to meet the designated quota of 1500 vehicles.

Allison further advised that after a meeting with the NSW Attorney General’s Department, agreement was reached to deliver the program with a minimum of three fitting sessions conducted in local car parks across the Penrith Local Government Area with the assistance of National Locksmiths. Additional assistance will be sought from suitable volunteers such as TAFE students completing relevant courses.

Final advice has been received from the NSW Attorney General’s Department approving amendments to the delivery of the program.

 Jane Street Car Park

Allison advised that RailCorp has completed the tender process for works to the Jane Street Car Park (east) and a contractor has been selected.

Work is scheduled to commence in December – January 2010, however will need to be scheduled to minimise impact to commuters and the Christmas/New Year shopping period.

3.  Closure of land between Diamantina Close and Reddington Avenue, St Clair

Allison advised that following Council approval, the parcel of land between Diamantina Close and Reddington Avenue, St Clair is scheduled to be closed with the installation of security fencing and gates commencing on 26^th November 2009. Signage has previously been erected advising the community that the parcel of land will be closed and access restricted.

4.  Update on Domestic Violence Projects

Domestic Violence Resource Project

Allison advised that Council was successful in receiving $60,000 funding from DoCS, Western Sydney Area Assistance Scheme to coordinate a Domestic Violence Resource Project.

Allison explained that the project focuses on 3 key components being:

1.   A training needs analysis  to assess and identify the training needs of local Non Government Organisation service workers

2.   Develop and deliver a training program to provide workers with the skills necessary to refer clients that present with domestic and family violence related issues.

3.   Develop a resource kit for workers.

Expressions of interest for the engagement of a consultant to conduct the training needs analysis closed on 6 November 2009. The successful consultant will commence this part of the project in January 2010.

Keeping Families Safe – Family Fun Day 3 December 2009

Allison advised that the Nepean Domestic Violence Network will be hosting the Family Fun Day – Keeping Families Safe on Thursday 3 December 2009 in the Green Space between 3.30pm and 7.00pm. The event is free and everyone is welcome to attend.

The event aims to raise community awareness about domestic and family violence. Activities that will be run at the event include a jumping castle, animal farm, temporary tattooist, face painting, PCYC van, a visit by Santa and many information stalls.

White Ribbon Day

Allison advised that today, 25 November 2009, is International White Ribbon Day. A day for the elimination of violence against women.

Allison spoke about the role Council has taken to support the day with white ribbons distributed to all Council staff. Each ribbon was attached to an information card briefly outlining the purpose of White Ribbon Day.

5. Cranebrook Street Lighting Enhancement Project

Allison advised that plans have now been received for the lighting upgrades within a designated area of Cranebrook. Quotations are now being obtained from accredited contractors to install the lighting in accordance with Integral Energy certified designs. Allison said Council anticipates the project will be completed by February/March 2010.

6. Draft Code of Practice – Public Spaces CCTV Program

Allison advised that a draft code of practice has been developed to support the Public Spaces CCTV program. Both Penrith and St Marys Local Area Commands have provided comment on the policy.

Allison further advised that the draft policy had been prepared, however issues relating to Freedom of Information requests need to be addressed before it can be submitted to Council.

Yvonne advised that this request has required a review of the policy and discussions with Council’s legal department.

Ray Filewood suggested it would be helpful to find out how other State Government agencies (e.g. State Rail) respond to these Freedom of Information requests.

Ben Feszczuk advised that he would contact NSW Police legal team to see how they respond to these requests.

5.      Penrith Senior Citizens Fencing

CONFIRMATION OF MINUTES - Access Committee Meeting - 7 October 2009

The minutes of the Access Committee Meeting of 7 October 2009 were confirmed with the following amendment.

GB 13        CDSE Grant to Gaels Club be changed to:

Denise Heath advised that the Gaels Club provided funding to NADO through a CDSE Grant for $4,500 which supported six children to attend Little Athletics for the season.

1       Development Application Referrals to the Access Committee                                        

DA09/1035         12 Carson Lane, St Marys – Partial demolition, alterations and fitout of an existing building for the purposes of a community support facility

Greg Hall spoke to the development application which is for the former St Marys Bowling Club to be used by the community group, Fusion Australia.  The proposal is for office space and a small café with a ramp.  The remainder of the building and entry are at grade.

Greg Hall advised that the only issue is the accessible parking but there may be an opportunity to relocate or adjust this.

Issues discussed by the Committee included:

·    uneven ground in the carpark

·    possible relocation of the accessible carparking nearer to the entrance

·    accessibility of the grade of the various entrances to the building.

DA09/1088          Level 2, 565 High Street, Penrith – Open Training Service Provider

Greg Hall advised that the development application is for the existing “Martin House” building to be used for administrative purposes and to provide occasional group educational sessions for up to 15 participants.  This service provider assists their clients to find employment.

The Access Report concludes that the premises are suitable for people with intellectual, psychiatric, physical and sensory disabilities.  While the addition of the handrail to the ramp, tactile indicators, and wheelchair accessible toilets would definitely improve access, the use of the current facilities allows access by people with disabilities.

Steve Barratt advised that since there are physical restrictions in the Martin House building other venues will be used for training sessions if necessary.  The provider will manage this issue for whatever group they are providing training for.

Issues discussed by the Committee included:

·    the toilets are not wheelchair accessible

·    possible hazard to visually impaired people as amenities are by the stairwell

·    how the provider will identify what specific needs their clients will require

·    the steepness of the ramp

·    wheelchair turning space through the doors

·    tactiles to be provided for the stairs

·    not more than three to four wheelchairs could fit into the classroom.

Steve Barratt explained that the service could adopt a plan of management which would be part of the development consent.  The service is not specifically for people with a disability.

Greg Hall advised that if the training provider holds a session and one out of the 15 people has a disability the session will be held at a more appropriate venue.  Greg Hall suggested reviewing the plan of management on an annual basis.

Greg Hall suggested that the door near the stairwell could be relocated and said he would look into this.

Steve Barratt further detailed that the plan of management for the training service could contain an application form for training.  Consent to the development application would be given subject to the plan of management which would be adopted as part of their approval.

Council officers will inspect the building before the proposal is assessed.  At this inspection the safety of the access to the amenities that are located near the stairwell will be reviewed.

DA09/1108        Addition and alteration to existing dwelling and change of use to Place of Worship and Community School at 15-27 Blaikie Road, Jamisontown

Greg Hall advised that the proposal is for an existing building to be used as a church and community school.  Sixty-five carparking spaces will be provided.  The proposal is for a hall, some classrooms, priest accommodation, and disabled toilet off the verandah.  All the building is at grade.

Concerns discussed by the committee included:

·    width of the verandah - 1.8m

·    entrance points – all the doors may need a 1 in 8 ramp

·    problem with doors in accessible facilities which open inwards – it is preferable to have doors which open outwards or are double hung (swing in or out)

·    problems with sliding doors for accessible facilities – they can come off the track, the button can be broken or something may be jammed in the track

·    parking issues – the first few spaces could be reserved for accessible parking

·    an allowance be provided for a footpath so people are not walking in the path of cars – this would be for all people to use

·    all the doors should be a minimum width of 850m to make all areas accessible.

RECOMMENDED that the information contained in the report on Development Application Referrals to the Access Committee be received

GB 5          National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)                                                       

Councillor Guillaume advised the committee of the proposed consideration of a National Disability Insurance Scheme.  The scheme could provide long term support for people with disability over a lifetime of their disease.  The matters will be investigated by the Productivity Commission and a report will be available in 2011.  Erich Weller indicated a report would be presented to the Access Committee on this matter once the terms of reference for the inquiry were available.

Ronda Hopkins enquired if this initiative could be used for something like a new doorway into a bathroom. 

Ben Felten advised that there are two organisations that can help with this at present with no cost and he said he would speak to Ronda after the meeting.

Steve Barratt reported that all the works at Nepean Private Hospital previously discussed by the committee have been completed except the kerb ramps which will be finished before Christmas.  The hospital has been positive in their response.

Councillor Ardill requested that a report or memo on the Nepean Private Hospital works come back to the committee.

19      Evan Street, South Penrith - Request to Relocate Bus Zone Fronting Jamison High School  

LTC Comment

Subsequent to the drafting and submission of this report, pedestrian fencing was found to have been erected, fronting Jamison High School, by unknown parties.  This is now a matter of ongoing investigation by Council officers to determine the suitability, positioning and type of fencing erected, including whether or not appropriate approvals were sought.  It should be noted that the Roads and Traffic Authority representative, David Lance, stated that the pedestrian fencing shown to the Committee in a series of photographs at today’s meeting is not an approved pedestrian fencing for an approach to a marked footcrossing.  The recommendations of this report have therefore been modified to reflect the ongoing nature of this investigation.

RECOMMENDED

That:

1.     The information contained in the report on Evan Street, South Penrith - Request to Relocate Bus Zone Fronting Jamison High School be received.

2.     Relocation of the 'Bus Zone' on Evan Street fronting Jamison High School not be supported.

3.     Investigations be conducted into the installation of the pedestrian fencing on the approach to the crossing to determine the suitability.  Any modifications required if the fence is unsuitable be referred to Council’s Compliance Unit.

GB 1          Jensen Street, Colyton – Request for Provision of ‘No Stopping’ Restrictions  (Raised Council)   

A request has been received from a resident of St Clair for ‘No Stopping’ restrictions on the southern side of Jensen Street, Colyton, between Hewitt Street and Willoughby Street.  The resident has indicated that vehicles (primarily all day parkers) from the small shopping complex at this location tend to use the on-street parking rather than utilising available parking within the complex and this hinders sight distance for vehicles.

An on-site inspection revealed that vehicles are being parked in the aforementioned area and hindering sight distance for vehicles exiting both the shopping carpark and also Jensen Street at Hewitt Street , and Willoughby Street at Jensen Street.  The vehicles were parking in the subject location even though there was an oversupply of parking within the small shopping complex.

It is proposed to provide ‘No Stopping’ restrictions along the frontage of Jensen Street, Colyton, between Hewitt Street and Willoughby Street, for a distance of 98m, which would include return signs 10m into both Hewitt and Jensen Streets.  It is anticipated this action will alleviate existing sight distance issues at this location.

RECOMMENDED

That ‘No Stopping’ restrictions be provided on the southern side of Jensen Street, Colyton, between Hewitt Street and Willoughby Street, for a total distance of 98m including return signs 10m into both Hewitt and Jensen Streets.

GB 2          Carrington Road/Bennett Road, Londonderry – Request for Removal of ‘Stop’ Sign  (Raised Mayor Crameri)                                                                                                              

Complaints have been received since the installation of the ‘Stop’ sign at the intersection of Carrington Road and Bennett Road, Londonderry, and drivers have advised that they now need to accelerate to get around the corner.  The residents are concerned about traffic safety and request that the ‘Stop’ sign be removed.

Council’s Road Network Services Engineer requested the Roads and Traffic Authority representative to follow up on a letter which was recently sent by Council regarding this matter.

RECOMMENDED

That the Committee note the information.

GB 3          Regentville Road, Penrith – Proposed Provision of ‘No Stopping’ Restrictions  (Raised Council)   

Council’s Road Network Services Engineer raised concerns regarding traffic safety in Regentville Road, Penrith at the cul-de-sac head where Penrith Mazda is located.  The Roads and Traffic Authority have advised that at a recent meeting with Council officers and Penrith Mazda representatives, it was noted that a large number of vehicles are unable to turn around at the cul-de-sac bulb due to the number of parked vehicles, and are using the Penrith Mazda driveway to turn around.  The Roads and Traffic Authority representative suggested provision of parking restrictions in the cul-de-sac bulb rather than having drivers perform a three-point turn in a private driveway.

RECOMMENDED

That:

1.            Community consultation be conducted with affected businesses in the cul-de-sac in Regentville Road, Penrith, with a view to providing ‘No Stopping’ restrictions around the cul‑de-sac bulb, and any substantial objections be referred to the Local Traffic Committee.

2.            Subject to no substantial objections being received, full-time ‘No Stopping’ restrictions be provided around the cul-de-sac bulb in Regentville Road, Penrith.

RECOMMENDATION

That the recommendations contained in the Report and Recommendations of the Local Traffic Committee meeting held on 7 December, 2009 be adopted.
